Summary
August 20 marks Fortnite’s Override season launch, and its reveal trailer omits Sony-linked guests such as Kratos and Aloy despite their past appearances in the game.
Sonic the Hedgehog, Bomberman and Persona 5’s Joker headline the crossover lineup, with themed weapons and gameplay elements tied to those franchises.
Tetris and Pac-Man also feature, while the island includes Sonic-inspired loop-the-loops and even a Jazz Jackrabbit nod from Epic’s own back catalog.
Crash Bandicoot and Spyro are set to appear too, underscoring that the season leans on non-Sony partnerships even though both characters were closely associated with the PS1 era.
